The creative winger could be a key addition to the Manchester based outfit, filling the club’s long-standing right-wing position.
This is a fantastic opportunity, and there are many reasons to believe the Brazil international will leave Dutch giants, Ajax and sign for Erik Ten Hag’s side.
He’s Keen on a New Challenge
Since his arrival from Sao Paulo in 2020, Antony can already boast to have conquered the Eredivisie, having played a crucial part in helping Ajax win two league titles in the last two years.
Over the last two seasons, he has scored 22 goals and added 16 assists. Ajax’s success has been aided by his trickery and unpredictability.
Antony, on the other hand, is keen to move on from the Dutch club, which is in transition. In an interview with De Telegraaf in February, he confessed that his ambition is to play in the Premier League.
Antony has a spot on the right flank available at Manchester United, and if he signs, he can expect to play on a regular basis right away.
The Opportunity to work with Erik ten Hag.
One of the main reasons Antony chose Manchester United over other teams was the chance to work with manager Erik ten Hag again.
The Dutch tactician is a big fan of the winger, having signed him for the Eredivisie side two years ago and consistently picking him. Antony’s last-minute winner against Feyenoord earlier this campaign was the difference between first and second place.
Antony’s manager understands how to get the most out of him and his armory of tricks.
Antony will want to join a team that values him and has a management that understands him. He’ll leap at the chance to fulfill his Premier League ambitions under his old manager.
Ajax are already searching for replacement.
Antony’s departure from Ajax might be hinted to by the Dutch club’s summer transfer activities. The Eredivisie champions have just made an offer for Antony’s successor.
Spurs have received an initial £17 million bid for Steven Bergwijn, a right winger who would replace Antony if he leaves.
According to the Mail, the first offer was turned down, but Ajax are set to come back with a better offer in order to get the winger, who is also interested in making the move.
